When evil men and women escape from the depths of the eternal abyss, the Pirate Queen Lady Shih is sent to retrieve them. But when one of historys most notorious killers breaks free, even she needs help. Enter the Heathens Shih, Lucky Luciano, Bumpy Johnson, Sofia the Golden Hand, and Billy the Kid. From Hell they came to mete out a justice as dark as their own tormented souls. From the wonderfully wretched imaginations of AfterShock horror-alum Cullen Bunn EDEN, PIECEMEAL, DARK ARK and Heath Amodio SuperCLEAN, and illustrated by superstar Sami Kivel UNDONE BY BLOOD, in THE HEATHENS, evil meets its match five of them, to be exact.
